Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree grows from weak to moderately strong, reaching 3.5–5 meters in height. The crown is formed from high-globular to pyramidal with drooping or horizontal branches. The variety is suitable for small gardens and easily tolerates formative pruning.

Fruit ripening occurs in late June – early July and is characterized by a very extended harvest period. The fruits are medium to large in size, round-heart-shaped, and nearly black when fully ripe. The flesh is soft, juicy, dark red, with a sweet taste with spicy notes and a slight acidity.

The variety is self-incompatible and requires pollinator varieties. Flowering is very early, which creates a risk of frost damage to flowers. Medium resistance to fruit cracking and medium susceptibility to "toad skin disease" are noted.
